L-Sits and Handstand Hold then KBS, Pushups and T2B

Comments Off on L-Sits and Handstand Hold then KBS, Pushups and T2B

So I gave up on the Invictus training, it just wasn’t varied enough for my taste, very focused on Olympic lifting (Snatches/Clean and Jerk), at least right now in their cycle.  I’ll continue to use a lot of their public WODs and otherwise modify as needed. 

I’ve decided that we need to master the L-Sit, so starting that this week I will try and be consistent in programming the progressions.  Added a couple of links to some Youtube videos to help out.  The one in the results is really good even if his flexibility is way outside of my league :-).

Warm up with 2 rounds of

  • 30 second Banded Hamstring Stretch per Leg
  • 30 second Plank
  • 30 second Side Plank per Side
  • 30 second Superman
  • 30 second Handstand Hold

Take 10 minutes and work on L-Sit Progressions

Then E2MO2M for 10 minutes (5 rounds)

  • 5 x Strict Pullups (maintain hollow body throughout)

10 rounds for time (Crossfit Invictus metcon from 15.7.2019)

  • 12 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 9 x Pushups
  • 6 x Toes to Bar

Results:  Since my L-Sit form is so poor thought I would take a step back and go through some progressions.  For that part, did the Tuck Hold and Single Leg and Double Leg Pike Lifts with 3 second hold. This is also a really cool tutorial on L-Sits. For the Metcon 12:55.

Took this workout from CF Invicuts’ WOD from May 20.

3 rounds of

  • 1 x Cluster + 2 x Thrusters

Then 1 round of

  • 30 seconds Row
  • 3 x Strict Pullups
  • 20 seconds Row
  • 3 x Strict Pullups
  • 10 seconds Row
  • 3 x Strict Pullups

Then Fran… 21-15-9 of

  • Thrusters @ 75lbs
  • Pullups

The two rounds of

  • 8 x Split Squats per Leg @16kg Dumbbell per Hand
  • 8 x Barbell Rollouts
  • Rest 60 seconds

Results:  For the Cluster round used 95-115-125lbs.  Fran 5:27. I scaled Fran since the Women’s weight is only 65lbs and most Women Crossfit Athletes can back squat 100+lbs more than me.
